So, I'm putting things back now I have my engine back from rebuild (Defender 200tdi). Got alternator back on but it looks a little off. See the pic and notice how the front/fan end looks 'toed in' towards the block. I have few other alignment guides at the moment. Wondering about pulley...

Thanks MOL! Hadn't seen the rotate by hand part and the mention of the 2:1 rotation ratio didn't seem clear to me until your tip.

Cheers Flossie! First engine build- don't know if I'll be able to turn the ignition when the time comes!! (Great fun though).

I just received my 11L 200tdi engine back from a complete rebuild but head left off for me to complete the re-assembly. Pistons 1 and 4 are flush with the face of the block but the woodruff key is just short of 12 o'clock/the arrow on the face plate. The camshaft pulley is dead on the arrow. The...

Anybody know if there is a 'sleeve' for the rear crankshaft surface (prior to replacing the main rear oil seal)? Apparently surface of mine has seen better days (at engine shop). Engine: Defender (11L) 200tdi. Thanks

Scooby, no oil on floor- the unicorn of Land Rovers! Looking like piston rings at present. Bores scored and rings coked up. Injector settings (before me) had been tweaked and unburned fuel debris evident throughout. Fuel injector pump and injectors rebuilt and back to factory settings. Just...

Thanks all! I too suspect a piston/ring issue. Mileage- dunno. What I do know is that when I had me chassis galv. I had someone look at engine in N Ireland back in 2010. At that time it got through 5l in 300 mile drive up there from Cork so something had to be done! Engine was out anyway. When...

Thanks for the response. I have an engine shop finally prepared to look her over. I'll get a diagnosis at least then go from there.

I need some advice from those more experienced than I. I have my engine out (11L 200tdi) due to other work needed- bulkhead and clutch fork. My engine was burning through a litre of oil every 500 miles or so, so I thought I'd break her open while I have the opportunity. Problem is, I have a hard...

Apologies for the first version of this which posted a web link. Not intentional advertising and placed to highlight some similar work I am considering. This was in regard to fabricating a replacement Defender bulkhead. This was suggested to me by a Jeep owner who does a lot of off-roading here...
